AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Getting Between Concourses
Edinburgh has one terminal building with domestic and international gates branching off a shared central departure lounge, so there is no shuttle or train required. Passengers arriving internationally must clear UK Border Force immigration and collect/recheck bags before continuing, while domestic-to-domestic passengers usually just walk through the terminal without re-screening.
